Hmm. That's a tough question. I guess I don't really have a favorite per se, but I really like The Two Towers. Man, do I LOVE battles! Ya know, I heard the battle of Helm's Deep is going to be 45 minutes long in the movie. Yay!

I heard it from some people on another LOTR website I'm a member of: www.barrowdowns.com The info comes from a trustable source, don't worry!

I'm not sher if I could live through 45 minutes of one battle!!! I may not see this one as many times as I saw the first one! Oh, wate, I spent alot longer then 45 minutes reading about Helmes deep, or at least another battle. Hmmmmmm, this might be intresting....

Anyways, that was a nice detare, but lets get back on topic please!

My favourite is definitely The Two Towers. And Helm's Deep is the best chapter.

Branched lightning smote down upon the eastern hills. For a staring moment the watchers on the walls saw all the space between them and the Dike lit with white light: it was boiling and crawling with black shapes, some squat and broad, some tall and grim, with high helms and sable shields

That line always makes a really creepy mental image. I hope that the movie does a good job with it. 45 min. long! I can't wait

I'm not too sure about 45 minutes of Helms deep. I mean, it is improtant, but still... Oh well. i'll see what the movie is like before I say anything more

This is what PJ says about the 40 minute long battle rumor in an interview: "No, it has never been 40 minutes, and I think it would be fairly dull if that were the case . . . the battle probably begins 40 minutes before the end of the film, but we don't just stay with the battle, we have things happening elsewhere, We are intercutting with Frodo and Sam's story, and . .. with Merry, Pippin and the Ents. We go other places during the course of the battle. . . Over the course of that last 30 minutes, there is probably 15 minutes of battle. . . . There is no doubt that if we do an extended DVD version of the TT, which I presume we will, there will be no problem with making a longer version of Helm's Deep."

(Sorry, I got off topic).
My favorite book -- how can you separate them? The first, I guess, cause Hobbiton is so cool . . .but the Scouring of the Shire is great too.

Since it's not a trilogy, I'll pick Book II (The Journey of the Nine Companions). From Rivendell to Moria to Lothlorien and down the Great River to the Breaking of the Fellowship: it's my favorite. But they're all so good it was still a difficult choice.
